Gold Star

Phelps High School Class of 1974

Thank you for always being so positive. You have the nicest things to say about everyone. I enjoy you.

Vanhoose has my vote.....

Great Game...I am so proud of the Russell Players, but I truly wish that the Seniors would have been allowed to play - no matter how long...Each Senior has played awesome games throughout the season. Lavender has been a starter and great, and will be remembered for his greatness.Simpson has been awesome and picked up alot of slack,he will be remembered as one of the starters. Maddox was amazing at the Greenup County and Morgan County Games, he was there when the team needed him the most to step up off the bench, and Pat Clarke returned this year with a great attitude and has contributed throughout. He will be remembered for his wonderful three -3 point shots against Boyd County and the many other times he was on the floors. A great tribute to our four seniors which will be great leaders soon. They will be a gift to any college and establishment. I look forward to seeing them in our community as leaders for years to come. I hope to see these incredible young men next week in the District, Regional, and then Rupp. I do think we have a great team to be proud of - We all may not agree with the decisions made during games but we still must give our best in support for our team. We should always be very proud...for we are RUSSELL.

Plus I apologized to the Coach and he says all is forgiven. I can still come to the games. You know basketball is a very special sport and I love it and the coach.

This was my very first visit to these sites. They are not for me. I vented to get it off my chest because I deeply cared for Casey and did not want to give him up. I attacked the coach without having all my facts straight. I did not mean to send but I did. I think the Coach is great and does far more right than wrong. I am sure hope that I caused the Coach or Team any grief because of my stupid opinions. That team means alot to me. And as I said before I am sorry.

We are READY, MIGHTY, & PROUD. We are going to STATE. Just Ask ME.

I am so glad you mentioned the key players. Our guys stepped up to the plate tonight and did not allow a loss. Gill, Austin, were great.....Vanhoose is amazing - he can play everywhere with a smile. We are lucky and we will go to STATE..Yes, Ross really made us proud as did Mullins & Ferguson in the JV game. Thank you for being so positive and bragging on our guys.

Who are the Hornets? I graduated from Phelps High School in 1974 were called the Hornets- The Mighty-Mighty Hornets....Are they still the Hornets? Who are the coaches - players - etc.

Ever who predicated Russell by 8 was the smart one. I am the dumb one - I wrote emotionally feelings on this site but did not think they went through - I am very sorry to anyone I offended. I think every coach in our systems are wonderful-because they are coaches. I was mad, I vented and did not want anyone to read. Yes, I am a rookie, that was stupid-so is my opinions. I am very sorry to any coach I have offended. I truly did not mean to send - I wanted to express those 48hr. feelings because I have feelings too. I want to help carry our huge trophy because we are the best and we are coached by the best. It is truly great to love our coach again. If anyone else get mads at their coach - e-mail me for advice, for when you look at the overall picture you will be mad at yourself. So vent to me and me only. Good Night :eek:

If Kasey is done then so should the coach...Yes, the bench of Ross, Maddux, Clark, Ferguson may surprise us all - They have had amazing patience..perhaps they should have a class for the coach on patience...if he had more we would not be in the mess we are in now - I am glad that Kasey has stood his ground that he would not take anymore - he his better for taking that stand. We love and miss him for he was incredible. If I were the Raceland coach I would be on his door step courting. After all kasey lives in the Raceland district. I would become a Ram Fan then.

Would you like for her to sing or I will bet she could arrange for Gladys Knight & The Pips to sing. Do you think Russell would have a sold out crowd that night - the attendance has gone down in the past few years. :scared:

Does anyone know if Kasey is back? I think if Kasey is not back tomorrow night - then he will not be coming back. He is not a quitter - this is truly a shame for such talent to be lost because of one person. Does anyone know who the starting 5 will be? Pat Clark was impressive Friday night but is not use to playing an entire game. Sizemore still needs lots of practice. He makes more minus than pluses. Will Ross be back - he is solid just needs encouragement. Will there be enough guys out next year for a team. There is so much negative talk that there will not be a JV team or Varsity. I am glad Robbie is on the radio. I think we need Robbie as a positive influence. He is smarter than the coach at times, so I think it is nice to have him around. I know it is tough being a coach but it has got to better than this....What about Maddux????Was it Fairview or Greenup where he played so well. Another Solid - just need encouragement. When is Senior night? Have a good evening. Gold Star :walk:

Yes, she adores those boys. She wants to see the best for those kids. Gold Star

Russell has the talent. The talent is definitiely on the benches but there is a huge problem with the coach with communication. What a shame that these boys cannot be lead to the state. It is not fair to them, fans, parents, schools. The coach also has the talent but lacks in motivational skills. The coach also knows why he has lost one of his best players - the quote in Friday nights paper was..........The word Assault was the reason. How unfair to a gifted child. We do need to remember these players are children. Young adults that need to be teachers to teach and guide them. A coach should guide Kasey as they would want one of his children to be guided. I think that Kasey needs to apologize to the coach and the team, but I strongly think that the coach should also apologize to Kasey and the team and lets move on to Rupp. Forgiving and forgetting will make us all stronger in the long run. God put us here to be of service to each other. Coach Dodd has many gifts and talents to share with these boys.Lets move in that direction. He can make an incredible difference. GOLD STAR

The 63rd District Title really does sound professional and successful. If Kasey comes backs that name should be in lights..... :banana:

The Russell team is really quite incredible. They definitely need Kasey back for he is one of the best. His talent is unbelievable. The problem is with the coach not the players. I wish we could have a mentoring group to take care of the communication problems. Yes, Russell has the talent on the boys bench to go to state.
